Sketch recognition is a technology by which a computer recognizes your drawings. For example if you want to draw a circle, then draw a rough circle on touch screen or using digitizer. As a human being is not perfect in drawing perfect shapes, you almost never draw a perfect circle.

The sketch recognition technology helps computer to understand which is the perfect shape which closely matches to your drawing then it replaces your rough drawing with perfect shapes.

There are many applications of sketch recognition. One common application of sketch recognition technology is used in drawing diagrams. A user draws rough diagrams using touch/digitizer and the software application converts them into good looking diagrams with perfect shapes. Lekh Diagram is one such application for ipad.
